[00:10] <Nikas> So.. i have this problem with Mythbuntu 8.04 freezing. I have upgraded from 7.10 and had not this problem before. I have now isolated the problem. The system freezes when running mythcommflag.
[00:12] <Nikas> i have IDE-disks (E-IDE) that was recognized as hd* in 7.10 and some IDE-driver was used. In 8.04 some scsi-driver are used and the drives have changed names to sd*. Can this have something to do with commflag failing. Feels like intensive work makes the system freeze.
[00:43] <MythbuntuGuest60> Hi Any advice on how to keep my tv tuner cards from changing the order they load in?
[00:45] <toorima> MythbuntuGuest60: blacklist moduels and then add them to /etc/modules
[00:46] <toorima> Nikas: mythbuntu uses uuid to locate disks so shouldnt mather that it changed from hd to sd but look in /etc/fstab to make sure
[00:46] <Nikas> toorima: I know.. :) The thing is that 8.04 is using other drivers
[00:47] <Nikas> 7.10 -> IDE 8.10 -> SCSI-device
[00:47] <Nikas> complete different stuff in dmesg in regard to the drives in 7.10 and 8.04
[00:48] <toorima> yes but when it comes to locating the disks its whats in fstab that mathers isnt it?
[00:49] <Nikas> toorima: no.. it does not matter but thats not the problem :)
[00:49] <Nikas> i only uses uuids in fstab
[00:49] <Nikas> use
[00:49] <toorima> k
[00:49] <Nikas> something makes my system freeze when running mythcommflag
[00:50] <Nikas> so.. i wounder if it could have something to do with how 8.04 handles my IDE-drives.
[00:51] <Nikas> wonder
[00:51] <tgm4883_laptop> Nikas IIRC that is because of the new version of libata
[00:51] <Nikas> hm..
[00:53] <Nikas> i have disabled mythcommflag for now.. i really dont want to go back to 7.10 because of this ;)
[00:58] <Nikas> console-kit-dae[5156]: segfault at 00000000 eip b7e79307 esp bfc81244 error 4
[00:58] <Nikas> whats that?
[01:18] <MythbuntuGuest60> hey toorima, i see a bunch of forum chatter about blacklisting not working in gutsy. was this fixed in hardy?
[01:25] <toorima> MythbuntuGuest60: i blacklisted in gutsy for my pchdtv5500 and pvr150 just installed hardy yesterday but doesnt seem like i have to do it now
[01:25] <toorima> guess time will tell tho
[01:41] <MythbuntuGuest43> I guess I'm not doing this right then, I blacklisted ivtv and bttv then added them in the order i want them to load to /etc/modules
[01:50] <SoulBlade> can someone help me with an audio problem?  i get an error regarding pulseaudipo
[01:51] <SoulBlade> i was working earlier which is weird
[01:51] <SoulBlade> and now.. not so much
[01:51] <SoulBlade> but if i do a lsof | grep /dev/snd i get nothing - google says i should have mixer_app? or is that incorrect w/ hardy
=== CME- is now known as CME
[02:30] <Duey> I'm trying to load the ATI/Nvidia X10 RF (kernel) driver through the MCC.  If daemon.log shows "lircd(userspace) ready
[02:31] <Duey> ", does that mean it's loading the userspace driver instead?
[03:09] <MythbuntuGuest56> evening
[03:12] <MythbuntuGuest56> I am having some issues getting my xorg modeline correct for my TV
[03:12] <MythbuntuGuest56> Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction
[04:04] <ATLPeterP> Could anyone help me troubleshoot an xorg issue with my Mythbuntu box? I have the entire thing set up except for the minor detail of actually displaying video on my tv!
[04:09] <pdragon> Tried setting the TV-Out option in the Control Center?
[04:12] <ATLPeterP> no
[04:13] <pdragon> know how to get to the Mythbuntu Control Center?
[04:13] <ATLPeterP> sort of
[04:13] <ATLPeterP> I am connected via VGA, though
[04:13] <ATLPeterP> I should back up a bit. I have had this setup working under vanilla mythtv on fedora core
[04:13] <ATLPeterP> Back in the day
[04:13] <ATLPeterP> The stock xorg.conf did not work
[04:14] <ATLPeterP> So I copy/pasted my old one in
[04:14] <ATLPeterP> But I am new to mythbuntu, so its possible I am just flailing around like an idiot
[04:14] <ATLPeterP> ;-)
[04:14] <pdragon> hmm... i'm not sure then. did you install from scratch?
[04:15] <ATLPeterP> yeah, from 8.04 beta, upgraded to release a couple days ago
[04:15] <pdragon> what kind of video card do you have in there now?
[04:15] <ATLPeterP> Radeon 8500 LE
[04:15] <pdragon> I'm not sure on ATI cards myself. I know people have still been having trouble with some models
[04:15] <ATLPeterP> The splash screen looks fine, if that means anything
[04:15] <pdragon> it goes blank after that then tho?
[04:16] <ATLPeterP> well, garbled
[04:16] <ATLPeterP> theres stuff going on there, but the modeline is obviously very wrong
[04:16] <pdragon> well, i know on my Nvidia card, when I first install it, if i want any video after the spash screen, I have to boot in safe graphics mode
[04:16] <pdragon> when it's plugged into the TV
[04:17] <ATLPeterP> hrmm
[04:17] <pdragon> i then choose the video driver during install and set the TV out
[04:17] <pdragon> and then it works fine after reboot
[04:17] <ATLPeterP> how are you connected to the TV?
[04:17] <pdragon> but, if you can get to the MCC now, you should be able to do that stuff
[04:17] <pdragon> Was Svideo at first then i got a better card and now it's component
[04:17] <ATLPeterP> Hrmm
[04:17] <ATLPeterP> Well
[04:18] <ATLPeterP> I think I can try booting off the mythbuntu disc and get the MCC from there
[04:18] <ATLPeterP> maybe?
[04:18] <pdragon> that won't run the MCC on your hard drive tho, that would run the LiveCD MCC
[04:19] <Duey> have you enabled the VNC service?
[04:19] <ATLPeterP> yeah
[04:19] <pdragon> oh yeah... i always forget about that cause i don't use it :p
[04:19] <Duey> you could use VNC to control the PVR
[04:20] <ATLPeterP> yeah
[04:20] <ATLPeterP> haha
[04:20] <Duey> oh, nm
[04:20] <ATLPeterP> I forgot about it too!
[04:20] <ATLPeterP> where is that option in MCC?
[04:20] <Duey> services I think
[04:21] <ATLPeterP> k
[04:21] <MythbuntuGuest35> Hey I don't know if there are any developers or administrators in here, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone
[04:21] <MythbuntuGuest35> This is an amazing distro and -- EXACTLY -- what I was looking for
[04:21] <Duey> ATLPeterP: "System Services" to be more exact
[04:22] <MythbuntuGuest35> All the beauty of ubuntu, brought to the pain and headache that is MythTV, you guys have done a great job
[04:22] <pdragon> MythbuntuGuest35: they're lurking around :)
[04:22] <ATLPeterP> Duey - Sorry, I meant the TV Out. VNC is enabled
[04:22] <MythbuntuGuest35> anyway, thanks for making it so easy
[04:22] <MythbuntuGuest35> I'm out!
[04:23] <Duey> ATLPeterP: oooh, hmmm, I'm actually wondering about that too, heh
[04:23] <pdragon> I can't get to it now. Check the Restricted Drivers section
[04:23] <pdragon> not sure if that's what it's called
[04:24] <ATLPeterP> k
[04:24] <ATLPeterP> no love. I'm just using the radeon driver
[04:25] <ATLPeterP> So I'm not sure I even have that option
[04:25] <Duey> there's an option for the ATI control center in there, I think
[04:26] <pdragon> oh... hmm... looks like that option for choosing TV-Out that I was thinking of it only there in the initial install
[04:26] <pdragon> yeah, the ATI control center would be your best bet. otherwise, need to find the xorg.conf settings to do it
[04:27] <ATLPeterP> bla
[04:27] <ATLPeterP> Well worst case I can try and reinstall the thing
[04:27] <Duey> Or possibly the Launch Xorg Config in Proprietary Drivers
[04:28] <Duey> ATLPeterP: or try uninstalling your video drivers?  When I did that, it came back up on my monitor
[04:29] <ATLPeterP> how did you do that? just blow away the xorg.conf?
[04:29] <ATLPeterP> or apt-get uninstall mesa
[04:30] <Duey> Well, actually, I did mine through the Proprietary Drivers dialog, but either that or Synaptic
[04:30] <ATLPeterP> ahh
[04:30] <ATLPeterP> I'm not using proprietary drivers
[04:30] <ATLPeterP> the open source radeon stack
[04:31] <Duey> oh, I'm using nvidia
[04:31] <ATLPeterP> I'm this close to just going out and buying a newer agp nvidia card
[04:31] <ATLPeterP> Seems to work much nicer
[04:31] <pdragon> might try asking on the forums
[04:31] <pdragon> more people frequent there
[04:31] <Duey> oddly enough, even though I have an nvidia 6200, when I use the "new" drivers (which Proprietary Drivers installs), mythfrontend and mythtv-setup don't work
[04:33] <ATLPeterP> yeah?
[04:33] <ATLPeterP> *sigh*
[04:34] <ATLPeterP> nothing is ever easy
[04:34] <Duey> ya
[04:34] <pdragon> what does work?
[04:34] <Duey> pdragon: are you asking me?  using the regular nvidia drivers work
[04:35] <Duey> my ati remote wonder is not working for some weird reason
[04:36] <pdragon> yeah
[04:36] <pdragon> ok. that's what i thought would work, was just wondering
[04:46] <da4n1> anyone know how to get mplayer-rar.pl to work?
[04:47] <Duey> ATLPeterP: I just found this article:  http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI_Proprietary_Driver#Attaching_a_computer_monitor  says there's a couple lines you can change to enable/disable TV out in Xorg.conf
[04:52] <ATLPeterP> awesome
[04:52] <ATLPeterP> lemme read through
[05:09] <ATLPeterP> hrmm
[05:10] <ATLPeterP> yeah, it looks like I might be able to hook up an svideo cable and get it to work that way
[05:13] <ATLPeterP> well thanks for your help Duey and pdragon
[05:13] <ATLPeterP> Hopefully I'll figure it out tomorrow
[09:01] <toorima> anyone have a solution to why xorg takes 100% cpu? totaly freezes my machine
[09:01] <toorima> i've searched the forums but haven't seen anything

[15:04] <Zagro> :p
[15:04] <Zagro> vista made me do it
[15:05] <Duey> hmmm, looks like there are a few more things you need, are you comfortable with the command line?
[15:06] <Duey> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Feisty    ....this is for 7.10, but should work for what you have
[15:06] <Zagro> ben around since dos 3.2
[15:06] <Duey> There's an ivtv-tune program that you'd have to use to switch channels
[15:07] <Zagro> ok whats difrint with Feisty cus i've got the itv sorce and a few others it installed with the packige maniger
[15:08] <Duey> mostly versions of programs...but, the apt-get commands should work
[15:09] <Duey> just basically use the package manager to install stuff, you shouldn't need the sources unless you need to recompile
[15:09] <Zagro> i did
[15:09] <Zagro> i had to fark with the card's fermware to fix it in vista
[15:09] <Zagro> so i had to UN fark it to work here
[15:09] <Duey> ok
[15:11] <Zagro> yes i have the utils
[15:11] <Zagro> lets see if i can find them now :p
[15:12] <Duey> should be available via commandline right away
[15:13] <wayneandleanne> hi all, i think my mythtv setup is missing some files, where can i get "mc.sql" from
[15:14] <Duey> http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Ivtv-tune  here's a site with info on the options for ivtv-tune, to make it a bit easier
[15:15] <Duey> wayneandleanne: on my system it's at /usr/share/mythtv/sql/mc.sql
[15:15] <Zagro> all this just so i can get a video window off to the side ;p
[15:15] <Zagro> hehe
[15:16] <Duey> Zagro: or you could just install Mythtv  :P
[15:17] <Zagro> it loads to much extra junk
[15:17] <Zagro> least all i've seen it's a full blown media center and nothing els
[15:17] <Duey> at least it's useful junk
[15:17] <Duey> well, ya, but if you mean the plugins, you don't need to install those
[15:19] <wayneandleanne> duey: got it, i downloaded the source from mythtv.org, unpacked and away i go, cheers anyway
[15:20] <Zagro> ok frankly i'm nervous about putting in such a vast app bymyself after i spent all this time just getting TTS sound the right video drivers messengers secondlife exct working
[15:20] <wayneandleanne> hmmm, i still get errors about not being able to connect to database
[15:20] <Zagro> i'd try it but it spooks me
[15:20] <Solarbaby> Just dump everything to a spare hard drive
[15:20] <Solarbaby> thats easy enough
[15:20] <Solarbaby> backups are essential and I dont understand why people dont think ahead?
[15:21] <wayneandleanne> can somebody give me somepointers to getting mythtv running on kubuntu 8.04, please
[15:22] <Solarbaby> btw you could use Norton Ghost for making a duplicate hard drive, but I fully recommend getting a program called Acronis Backup-Restore Boot CD..  it happens to be the best backup software I've ever used
[15:25] <Zagro> naa all i gota do is copy one file
[15:25] <Zagro> it's 15gig tho :/
[15:25] <Zagro> :p
[15:26] <Duey> Zargo: have you tried using the package manager?
[15:26] <Zagro> for what?
[15:26] <Zagro> myth
[15:26] <Zagro> ?
[15:26] <Duey> yes
[15:27] <Zagro> last time i tried it the forminchend file poofed but it wasnt myth it was ksay :p

[15:28] <Zagro> what parts of myth do i need let me clean up these windows.......
[15:29] <Zagro> ok i'm in synaptic
[15:29] <Duey> if you're using the package manager, if you install "mythtv" it will add the required files, otherwise, hmmmm, not sure which parts except for mythfrontend and mythbackend
[15:30] <Duey> ya, just install the mythtv package
[15:30] <Zagro> i have synaptic software sorces and the add/remove (wich dosnt have myth in it)
[15:31] <Duey> when you do mythtv, it'll add the other packages it requires
[15:32] <Zagro> ok i've got one hell of a list here and none just say myth tv packige
[15:32] <Duey> if it's sorted by Package Name, just scroll down to the "mythtv" entry
[15:33] <Zagro> found it downloading
[15:33] <Duey> after it installs it should take you through the setup
[15:34] <Zagro> it unchecked libshw and libldap

[18:46] <reclusivemonkey> does anyone know how to reset the user-agent settings in mythweb?
[18:48] <gregL> i have some avi videos.iwould like to play them through myth..what is the folder they need to be in?
[18:49] <majoridiot> gregL, put them in whatever folder mythvideo is config'd to look in
[18:49] <tgm4883_laptop> Zagro, have you ever had this setup and working before?
[18:50] <Zagro> nope
[18:50] <Zagro> but i can say vlc only loads the card in pvr mode
[18:51] <Zagro> frankly if i could figure out the string to get it to use svideo that's all i need :p
[18:51] <tgm4883_laptop> Zagro, did you setup a lineup and bind that to an input?
[18:51] <gregL> Ok...my bad i didn't look at the configuration ...It never ocurred to me, i thought it had a specific folder...thanks..
[18:51] <majoridiot> Zagro, do you have a schedulesdirect line-up set up in backend step 3 and did you bind and fetch channels in step 4?
[18:53] <Zagro> no lineup
[18:53] <Zagro> not sure about bind/fetch thing
[18:54] <majoridiot> you MUST have a lineup
[18:54] <tgm4883_laptop> IIRC, you have to at the very least setup the bind/config
[18:54] <majoridiot> and those channels must be bound to the tuner
[18:57] <Zagro> OOOK found step 4 :p i feel silly
[18:57] <majoridiot> hehe
[18:57] <Zagro> no grabber persay but i didnt setup the inputs
[18:58] <Zagro> i saw a list but didnt see the NONE :p selective reading
[18:58] <Zagro> scanning channels now for tuner1
[18:58] <Zagro> not like it's gona find any :p
[18:59] <Zagro> about no mouse curser there anyway to get it back?.... if i get this working at all that is
[19:00] <majoridiot> Zagro, there's a tick box for hide mouse cursor... somewhere in setup.
[19:00] <majoridiot> i think somewhere in 1. general
[19:00] <tgm4883_laptop> majoridiot, shouldn't that be in frontend setup?
[19:00] <Zagro> i'll check after it's done scanning
[19:01] <majoridiot> tgm4883_laptop, mayhaps so.  it's in one of the two setups.
[19:02] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, time to head out
[19:12] <Zagro> ok got my mouse back
[19:12] <Zagro> got static picture no sound as of yet
[19:13] <Zagro> i can fix the sound it's in radio1 it's looking in the rong spot
[19:29] <Zagro> does myth mute static?
[20:00] <reclusivemonkey> does anyone know how to reset the user-agent settings in mythweb?
[20:16] <mooseman089> hey is it possible to run the mythtv frontend in a window so i can use other apps at the same time?
[20:28] <hansoffate> mooseman089: i believe there is an option under Setup
[20:30] <hansoffate> mooseman089: Setup->Appearance->Screen Settings
[20:31] <hansoffate> On the bottom check the checkbox for Run the frontend in a window
[20:31] <hansoffate> tgm4883_laptop: did i tell you I got my database problem fixed?
[20:37] <linoobie> hi all. :-) hope everyone is doing ok. Im having some problems recording audio with xawtv.. when i select the avi video record option .. audio option becomes unavailable? not sure why .. does anyone know how i can enable the audio to record from line in .. with avi as codec?
=== bogus- is now known as bogus
[20:40] <tgm4883_laptop> hansoffate, i don't believe so
[20:54] <Nikas> how can i disable the screensaver that makes my tv go blank after some time?
[21:09] <hansoffate> tgm4883_laptop: I installed phpmyadmin, repaired and optimized my database.  Then tried to upgrade and it worked.
[21:13] <hansoffate> Nikas: i may know
[21:14] <hansoffate> are you talking about DPMS?
[21:26] <bogus> anyone, my sound suddenly stopped working in mythbuntu (can have to do with wrong buttons pressed on my new remote), ran alsamixer already, all sounds are full open, mplayer is not muted and full volume
[21:27] <bogus> also the soundcard is working, the bios says (operating system is booting sound)
[21:28] <hansoffate> Nikas: let me know if you want to know how to fix it
[21:28] <Nikas> hansoffate: please tell me ;)
[21:29] <hansoffate> lets pm, so we don't fill this up
[21:29] <hansoffate> are you registered?
[21:29] <hansoffate> if you aren't, you can't talk back
[21:34] <hansoffate> Nikas: you there?
[22:00] <MythbuntuGuest32> I'm setting up a new system that is connected to cable TV. I've set up my account with Schedules Direct and have chosen a lineup from the website. When I use the channel scanner, it finds the appropriate channels, but it doesn't find the names for them. Is this a common issue? Is there an easy fix?
[22:04] <majoridiot> MythbuntuGuest32, what tuner are you using?
[22:04] <MythbuntuGuest32> PVR250
[22:05] <MythbuntuGuest32> (hauppauge)
[22:05] <majoridiot> you do not "scan" for channels...
[22:05] <majoridiot> use the "retrieve line-up" button
[22:05] <majoridiot> (or similar name)
[22:05] <majoridiot> that will pull your SD line-up with the names and numbers
[22:06] <MythbuntuGuest32> should I delete the existing unnamed channels first?
[22:06] <majoridiot> i would, yes.
[22:06] <majoridiot> easiest way...
[22:06] <majoridiot> just delete the line-up in 3
[22:06] <majoridiot> then re-add it...
[22:07] <majoridiot> and do step 4
[22:07] <majoridiot> doing a retrieve instead of a scan
[22:07] <MythbuntuGuest32> Ok, I'll give that a try. Thanks very much!
[22:07] <majoridiot> holla back if you have probs.
[22:09] <MythbuntuGuest32> I was waiting for a mythfilldatabase to finsih while asking that question...just went back and the channel names are now there
[22:09] <majoridiot> ah.. good.
[22:09] <MythbuntuGuest32> I know I had done both the retrieve line-up and used the channel scanner previously...doing mythfilldatabase must have been the missing piece
[22:09] <majoridiot> might be ALL channels, not the ones you selected, tho... i'd check it.
[22:09] <MythbuntuGuest32> Downloading icons now :)
[22:10] <MythbuntuGuest32> I'll double check that it's got all the channels it should and no others
[22:10] <majoridiot> yes, no guide data at all without a mythfilldatabase
[22:10] <majoridiot> if you have extras...
[22:10] <majoridiot> you can remove them in 5. channel editor
[22:14] <MythbuntuGuest32> seems like the channels/guide data are looking good now
[22:15] <majoridiot> very good. :D
[22:15] <MythbuntuGuest32> next problem... :P I've got the grey remote that comes with the PVR250, but some (most) of the buttons aren't working
[22:15] <MythbuntuGuest32> I chose "Hauppauge TV Tuner" as the remote type
[22:15] <MythbuntuGuest32> the others looked like they were for other specific hauppauge models
[22:15] <majoridiot> is the receiver connected to the PVE or USB?
[22:16] <MythbuntuGuest32> PVR
[22:16] <majoridiot> ^PVR
[22:16] <MythbuntuGuest32> up and down arrows work
[22:16] <MythbuntuGuest32> numbers work
[22:16] <MythbuntuGuest32> Ok seems to work sometimes
[22:16] <majoridiot> sec... lemme look
[22:17] <majoridiot> MythbuntuGuest32, what version are you running?
[22:18] <majoridiot> nevermind...
[22:18] <majoridiot> MythbuntuGuest32, in a terminal, run irw
[22:18] <majoridiot> see if all of your buttons work
[22:19] <majoridiot> if so, you need to edit the .lircrc file in your home directory to define the buttons as you want them
[22:19] <majoridiot> there's plenty of reference on how to do that in the forums
[22:20] <MythbuntuGuest32> gotcha, will look a little deeper there
[22:20] <MythbuntuGuest32> thanks for all of your help!
=== MythbuntuGuest32 is now known as Cards
[22:20] <majoridiot> if some work, you probably just need to edit .lircrc
[22:20] <Cards> ok
[22:21] <Cards> I wish there was an app that just said "push the up arrow", "push the pause button", etc until you had gone through every button
[22:21] <Cards> then it wouldn't matter what remote you were using
[22:22] <bvidinli_> hi
[22:27] <Cards> thanks again, I might be back later
[22:27] <majoridiot> yw.  enjoy!
[23:01] <Nikas> With 7.10 i could start mythfrontend via ssh from another computer with DISPLAY=:0 mythfrontend &
[23:02] <Nikas> that does not work with 8.10
[23:02] <Nikas> No protocol specified
[23:02] <Nikas> xprop: unable to open display ':0'
[23:02] <Nikas> and Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
[23:03] <Nikas> so.. how can i start the frontend from another machine with ssh? (using it with irexec too)
[23:16] <majoridiot> Nikas, use -X option with ssh to enable an X session
[23:16] <majoridiot> ssh [email protected] -X
[23:16] <Nikas> i'm using putty ;)
[23:16] <Nikas> I could start mythfrontend with my remote in 7.10
[23:17] <Nikas> with irexec and DISPLAY=:0 mythfrontend &
[23:41] <toorima> is the .asoundrc still needed to get sound via spdif?
